Dalby ranks 259th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (24 systems, 11% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Dalby's 612 solar systems avoid an estimated 6,058 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 2,885 cars from the road. This is estimated using Queensland's average grid emissions intensity of 810 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
